Ten Original Scores Composed by Lees;
Ex-Servicemen McnopoSize Production Cast
by Jesse Unruh If the Varsity show lives up to its advance publicity, a large measure of its success will be due to the efforts of Ben Lees, enterprising young composer. Of the 22 original musical scores in the show, 10 of them have come from the poesy pen of the young veteran.
A batting average of 1.000 is pretty good in anybody’s
league and that's just what Less is t--
hitting in the composers circle, having submitted 10 songs to the varsity show director, flarvey Edwards, for use in “Given Tech” and having had all 10 of them accepted. Some of his songs are “Samba,” “Only One,” and “Ordinary Me.”
Lees’ efforts, while perhaps the most extensive, are certainly hot tlie only ones that have made ‘‘Given Tech” the booming big show it promises to be. In fact the whole affair is completely original, music,
[lyrics, dialogue, and scenery having sprung from the fertile minds of SC students.
TRIALS AND TROUBLES
“Given Tech’’ is the story of the trials and troubles, fhe tribulations and trials of tyros at Tech, or, more fully, Given Institute of Technology. Burl Smith will portray the part of Lee, harassed young Student who is the prominent male in the show, and Dolores Peterson ; will step into the shoes of Barbara, leading feminine figure.
Miss Peterson is one of Troy’s best-known entertainers. She was the star of the Red Cross show last March, has made guest appearances i at Trovet dances, and has many other histrionic and lyrical ac-complishments to her credit.
Secondary leads go to Claire Kap-■ lan as Cecile, Don Combs as Jimmy, Dick Marine as the big-shot
j athlete of Tech, and Pat Roe as a | vampished coed.
ORIGINAL COMPOSERS
Among the abundance of ongi-| nal musical compositions will be one written and rendered by Harriet Williaams and Marie Flannoy. Dick Eshleman, who lays claim to the | honor of being a journalism major,
J has written tlie lyrics to “Away Back When.” Music for the composition was written by Dick Kamrar.
Veterans have monopolized the J cast and production jobs of “Given Tech” according to Director Ed-I wards, who announce^ that every male in the musical menagerie is a I former serviceman.
“ ‘Given Tech’ is the first college musical produced anywhere in the United States since the war.’’ Edwards said. “We believe we have a wonderful show and Hollywood actors and actresses who have seen the rehearsals seem to think so too.”
L/TIX MUSIC
Pink}' Arios and his Latin-American orchestra, students at Given Tech, will give out with some lively Latin lyricals and music during the show, and Ray Davis’ 26-piece orchestra will be in the pit.
SC Receives
$100,000 Gift From Trustee
The sum of $100,000 has been bequeathed to SC by the executor of the estate of Dr. Raphael Herman, former member of the board of trustees who died recently according to Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid.
The funds will be used to promote activities in international relations at SC, notably the Los Angeles University of International Relations, affiliated, of which Dr. Herman was co-founder and trustee. The department is one of few in the country to offer training for the diplomatic service.
Dr. Herman had been national vice-president of the League of Nations association, a mmber of tlie China institute in America and the Cultural Relations association with Latin America, and was ioun-der of the Detroit Museum of Art.
The recipient of an honorary LL.D. degree from this university in 1927, ur. Herman was a member of the board of trustees during the 10' years prior to his ieath.
Ine latest bequest is not Her-
j man's first. Some time ago lie offered a $25,000 Peace prize which was won by Dr. David Starr Jordan, former president of Stanford unlvesity.

Miss Famine of ’46 Will be Picked After Week of Fatless Diet
Opening SC’s Famine-Relief drive at 12:45 p.m., Friday will be music, speeches, and a contest to pick Miss Famine of 1946 in front of the University library.
Choice of Miss Famine of 1946 will not be by the usual procedure. Pulchritude will have nothing to do with it. The contestants, presidents of all the sororities and women’s dormitories on campus, will be weighed in, their right hands raised to take oath, and affidavits signed in the presence of a notary public. This is to insure their pledge to go without wheat or fats for a week to prove that there are no harmful effects.
The contestant whose weight remains most nearly constant will be crowned the following Friday after a second weighing has taken place. Her weight will be equaled in canned goods and sent overseas with her name attached.
Music for the demonstration will be supplied by a Salvation army band.
CANNED FOODS DRIVE
Monday, May 6 has been set aside as “We Can day.” There will be a truck parked in front of Student Union throughout the day to accept contributions of canned foods. It has been estimated that if each of the 12,000 students attending SC
contributes one can of food there will be enough to fill the truck at least twice.
Students are urged to do their part by contributing at least one can, and at the same time cut down on the amount of wheat and fats they eat. Sorority houses have agreed to discontinue the serving of these commodities until the situation overseas is eased.
Eating places in the campus vicinity have been asked to fall in with the drive.

YWCA dreams of a campus home began to crystalize yesterday afternoon when Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid turned the first spade-full of ground on the proposed site of the $35,000 structure at 36th place and Hoover street.
Actual building of the house, designed by architect Vincent Palmer, will not be started immediately, but well formulated plans pror.% Lse YWCA campus women a home as soon as building conditions permit.
Architect Palmer gave his “unusual clients.—clients with convictions” a verbal picture of their future home.
“This is not a religious building in the restricted sense of the word," stated Palmer. “Our plans are for a building far removed from the usual middle ages style, a building which stresses the smart and sophisticated youth of today.”
GLASS ENTRANCE
“When the representatives of Vogue magazine come to the LT: campus for a picture designed to bring out the beauty of our campus, we hope they will use the glass entrance of the new YWCA home,” said Palmer, a graduate of the SC
College of Architecture.
The plans for the home contain an elisabeth von KleinSmid lounge, a Lena Lewam Fisher chapel, a Mrs. Walter Butler ciTTbroom, in addition to a spacious patio, a barbe-que, and a huge fireplace. In complete harmony of appearance with the architecture style of other campus buildings, the new building w:K be styled of brick and contain square feet of space.
Mrs. Lloyd Wright, president of the YWCA advisery board, presided over the social meeting anfl introduced Mrs. Emmanuel Jungqu>;t, building committee chairman, who stressed the progress made by campus women in their energeurt drive to raise funds for building purposes.
FUNDS FROM SHOW
Opal Peterson spoke for the caia-pus women and told the audience of the forthcoming variety show, ‘Given Tech,” the proceeds of which will help pay for this “ambitious undertaking.” Miss Petersen told her audience that, “we expect to net $2500 on our two-night show, and this will, of course, be turned over to our financial com-
mittee.”
Prior to a tea held in the suite of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid, the ground-breaking ceremonies were conducted on the lot which the University has authorized as the new YWCA home.
• “The old frame house that now stands on the corner of the proposed lot will be tom down so as not to hamper in any way the beauty of our new home,” stated Ruth Grant, executive secretary.
DEAN MORELAND SPEAKS
Helen Hall Moreland, Dean Ot Women, told the group at the ground-breaking ceremonies how the spiritual minded women of the campus have come to rely on the j YWCA as more than just a pla®? where they can get a good meal or a cherry smile.
“The YWCA gives these women a spiritual value of gracious living and hospitality,” Miss Moreland said.
Connie Smith, president of the Associated Women Students afTd Ruth Holley, student YWCA president, told the group what the new building will mean to the Y group and to the campus as a whole.

Briton Charges Russia Has Bones of Hitler, Eva Braun
LONDON, Apr. 3«.—(U.R)—The Russian army has had in its po-session the charred bones of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, his mis-tress-wife, since a few days after they willed themselves in the bunker of the Berlin Reichschan-cellory a year ago today, a British intelligence officer asserted today.
Circumstantial evidence collected by the British and others seemed to leave little doubt of the truth of the Nazi assertion of their deaths, broadcast May 1, 1945.
British intelligence officers were shown bones which Russian solff-iers said were those of Hitler and Eva. The Russians said positive identification was made by one Frau Heusermann, assistant to Hitler's dentist, and by one Eichmann, the’dentist’s mechanic.
Soon after the capture of Berlin some Russians said they were certain Hitler was dead because of the dental identification. But on June 10 Marshal Georgi Zhukov, commander in chief, said: “We have discovered no corpse that could be identified as Hit-
ler’s.” The Red army command —like Allied commands—were taking no chances that Hitler had prepared a double, even to the extent of having the double’s jaws made identical with his.
A few days before Zhukof made his statement the bones of a man and woman were shown t« a small group of British officers.
“They were the bones of an adult and woman,” one of the ol-ficers said. “There were not two complete skeletons and none of the main bones was intact, such as thigh bones, tibia or shoultler blades. They looked like a heap of old soup bones which had been mixed up in a fire.
“But there was most of a man’s jaw bone with teeth intact— enough to permit identification by a dental expert who had treated the man professionally. The Russians kept the bones in a sack.
The story of Frau Heusermann was told briefly soon after Germany collapsed. The full report she made to Dr. Feodor Bruck, successor to Hitler’s dentist Blas-chke, is now available.
Registration of student voters in the forthcoming SC student body elections will begin today at 8:30 a.m. Two tables will be set up in front of Bovard auditorium, one in the lobby of the Student Union, and one on the first floor of the Engineering building, to facilitate registration.
Continuing until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, registration activities will be conducted daily from 8:30 a.m. until 3.30 pjn. except Saturday, when the work will terminate at the end of 11 a.m. classes and begin again on Monday morning.
Al Kotler. elections commissioner, stated that the only requirement needed for voters’ registration is the student activity card. The activity card, however, must be signed before it is presented to the registration j
clerk, who will then punch section Dr. Daniel Sommer Robinson, 12 on the card. The student will be j former president of Butler univer.-

This book contains a series of reports by such men as Prof. Albert Einstein, Dr. Harold C. Urey, Niels Bohr, and other scientists who fashioned the bomb.
Dr. Geer will explain atomic power and how it is different from ordinary power. “Atomic power presents many new problems. These scientists have outlined the problems and a solution for them.”
NO DEFENSE
“Atomic power used in a destructive way will give any group who wishes to use it a tremendous advantage as the nation who throws it first will win. There is no defense. The gun nests might scay safe, but there is no deiense for the civilian population,” Dr. Greer explained.
“Complete atomic bombs can be made the size of a typewriter with timed fuses on them. Unless every box and suitcase is checked that enters our country by plane, train, or steamship, we have no sure means of protecting ourselves against this menace. A timed atomic bomb could be placed within a mile of any city very easily,” Dr. Greer remarked.
WORLD GOVERNMENT
The men who wrote this book ask that we have one all-embracing world government. The present situation of each nation in the world competing against the other should be substituted for cooperation.
Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer emphasizes how cheap the atomic bomb is. The end of the civilized world can be achieved at bargain rates.
Walter Lippmann uses a long chapter to outline an ingenious plan for dealing directly with individuals in any country whose activities are a menace to peace. Mr. Lippmann believes that the concept of collective security, involving action by nations to coerce nations, is out ot date. He believes that the veto power in the UNO Securtiy council is a recognition of this fact.

YWCA dreams of a campus home began to crystalize yesterday afternoon when Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid turned the first spade-full of ground on the proposed site of the $35,000 structure at 36th place and Hoover street.
Actual building of the house, designed by architect Vincent Palmer, will not be started immediately, but well formulated plans pror.% Lse YWCA campus women a home as soon as building conditions permit.
Architect Palmer gave his “unusual clients.—clients with convictions” a verbal picture of their future home.
“This is not a religious building in the restricted sense of the word," stated Palmer. “Our plans are for a building far removed from the usual middle ages style, a building which stresses the smart and sophisticated youth of today.”
GLASS ENTRANCE
“When the representatives of Vogue magazine come to the LT: campus for a picture designed to bring out the beauty of our campus, we hope they will use the glass entrance of the new YWCA home,” said Palmer, a graduate of the SC
College of Architecture.
The plans for the home contain an elisabeth von KleinSmid lounge, a Lena Lewam Fisher chapel, a Mrs. Walter Butler ciTTbroom, in addition to a spacious patio, a barbe-que, and a huge fireplace. In complete harmony of appearance with the architecture style of other campus buildings, the new building w:K be styled of brick and contain square feet of space.
Mrs. Lloyd Wright, president of the YWCA advisery board, presided over the social meeting anfl introduced Mrs. Emmanuel Jungqu>;t, building committee chairman, who stressed the progress made by campus women in their energeurt drive to raise funds for building purposes.
FUNDS FROM SHOW
Opal Peterson spoke for the caia-pus women and told the audience of the forthcoming variety show, ‘Given Tech,” the proceeds of which will help pay for this “ambitious undertaking.” Miss Petersen told her audience that, “we expect to net $2500 on our two-night show, and this will, of course, be turned over to our financial com-
mittee.”
Prior to a tea held in the suite of Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid, the ground-breaking ceremonies were conducted on the lot which the University has authorized as the new YWCA home.
• “The old frame house that now stands on the corner of the proposed lot will be tom down so as not to hamper in any way the beauty of our new home,” stated Ruth Grant, executive secretary.
DEAN MORELAND SPEAKS
Helen Hall Moreland, Dean Ot Women, told the group at the ground-breaking ceremonies how the spiritual minded women of the campus have come to rely on the j YWCA as more than just a pla®? where they can get a good meal or a cherry smile.
“The YWCA gives these women a spiritual value of gracious living and hospitality,” Miss Moreland said.
Connie Smith, president of the Associated Women Students afTd Ruth Holley, student YWCA president, told the group what the new building will mean to the Y group and to the campus as a whole.

Briton Charges Russia Has Bones of Hitler, Eva Braun
LONDON, Apr. 3«.—(U.R)—The Russian army has had in its po-session the charred bones of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, his mis-tress-wife, since a few days after they willed themselves in the bunker of the Berlin Reichschan-cellory a year ago today, a British intelligence officer asserted today.
Circumstantial evidence collected by the British and others seemed to leave little doubt of the truth of the Nazi assertion of their deaths, broadcast May 1, 1945.
British intelligence officers were shown bones which Russian solff-iers said were those of Hitler and Eva. The Russians said positive identification was made by one Frau Heusermann, assistant to Hitler's dentist, and by one Eichmann, the’dentist’s mechanic.
Soon after the capture of Berlin some Russians said they were certain Hitler was dead because of the dental identification. But on June 10 Marshal Georgi Zhukov, commander in chief, said: “We have discovered no corpse that could be identified as Hit-
ler’s.” The Red army command —like Allied commands—were taking no chances that Hitler had prepared a double, even to the extent of having the double’s jaws made identical with his.
A few days before Zhukof made his statement the bones of a man and woman were shown t« a small group of British officers.
“They were the bones of an adult and woman,” one of the ol-ficers said. “There were not two complete skeletons and none of the main bones was intact, such as thigh bones, tibia or shoultler blades. They looked like a heap of old soup bones which had been mixed up in a fire.
“But there was most of a man’s jaw bone with teeth intact— enough to permit identification by a dental expert who had treated the man professionally. The Russians kept the bones in a sack.
The story of Frau Heusermann was told briefly soon after Germany collapsed. The full report she made to Dr. Feodor Bruck, successor to Hitler’s dentist Blas-chke, is now available.
Registration of student voters in the forthcoming SC student body elections will begin today at 8:30 a.m. Two tables will be set up in front of Bovard auditorium, one in the lobby of the Student Union, and one on the first floor of the Engineering building, to facilitate registration.

This book contains a series of reports by such men as Prof. Albert Einstein, Dr. Harold C. Urey, Niels Bohr, and other scientists who fashioned the bomb.
Dr. Geer will explain atomic power and how it is different from ordinary power. “Atomic power presents many new problems. These scientists have outlined the problems and a solution for them.”
NO DEFENSE
“Atomic power used in a destructive way will give any group who wishes to use it a tremendous advantage as the nation who throws it first will win. There is no defense. The gun nests might scay safe, but there is no deiense for the civilian population,” Dr. Greer explained.
“Complete atomic bombs can be made the size of a typewriter with timed fuses on them. Unless every box and suitcase is checked that enters our country by plane, train, or steamship, we have no sure means of protecting ourselves against this menace. A timed atomic bomb could be placed within a mile of any city very easily,” Dr. Greer remarked.
WORLD GOVERNMENT
The men who wrote this book ask that we have one all-embracing world government. The present situation of each nation in the world competing against the other should be substituted for cooperation.
Dr. J. R. Oppenheimer emphasizes how cheap the atomic bomb is. The end of the civilized world can be achieved at bargain rates.
Walter Lippmann uses a long chapter to outline an ingenious plan for dealing directly with individuals in any country whose activities are a menace to peace. Mr. Lippmann believes that the concept of collective security, involving action by nations to coerce nations, is out ot date. He believes that the veto power in the UNO Securtiy council is a recognition of this fact.
